He's at it again: Cornelius Muller’s film company is busy making another

The next feature film scheduled for release by Cornelius Muller Productions LLC is “Sacred Kind of Love,” which finished principal photography this month.

Cornelius Muller of Burlington said his production team has worked the past year to write, cast and produce the new film, which likely will be shown to the public for the first time at The Lamb’s Chapel in Haw River the weekend before Labor Day.

The film’s scenes were shot at locations in Burlington and Greensboro. Muller said “Sacred Kind of Love” is about two families’ struggles with life.

“Sacred Kind of Love” features characters Marvin and Leigh Davis and Johnny and Catherine McBride and their children. According to Cornelius Muller Productions, the families deal “with the realities of a harsh business environment, sudden fame and money, constant criticism and marital infidelity. Family ties are strained and tested.”

Muller said the film is currently in the editing phase and that the film’s musical score will be added later. This marks Cornelius Muller Productions’ third film. Previous titles included “Brother’s Keeper” and “Find A Way.”

“Brother’s Keeper” was a story about love, faith and forgiveness, Muller said, while “Find A Way” was about a fictional character loosely inspired by the life of the late Harry Cohen, a former quarterback at Williams High School who passed away during his senior year.

Muller said his films have received support from the local community and that he is excited to be able to showcase his new film later this year.

“We will always put out inspirational films that inspire people to live better and see beyond their current circumstances,” Muller said.

Muller’s interest in the film industry began in 1996. He is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., who graduated from then-Elon College in 1993. During the last nine years, Muller said he has really focused on his career in film, having acted, written and co-directed various projects.

“I really enjoy it,” Muller said. “It’s a joy you can’t explain. The thing about this community is they have really supported my films.”

Muller said there are plans to reshoot “Brother’s Keeper” into a full-length film and shop it around for distribution. Muller also said once “Sacred Kind of Love” is completed other films will be produced. It takes a crew of about 50 people to complete a film. Muller said his production company plans to produce about one film a year moving forward.

Running a film production company isn’t Muller’s only passion. He also operates Xplosion a fitness center at Huffman Mill Road. He started the business nearly nine years ago and has trained premier athletes in the region.

“Fitness and film are my two passions,” Muller said.
